I have used these hinges on quite a few projects before but have always used a router jig to make the mortises. I am now in the midst of a desk build and considered using these but there would be no way to use a router. I had just given up on the idea and then you posted this... Thank you!
All good stuff! For those that might not be quite as precise with their drilling and chiseling, I humbly recommend that you check out Sugatsune hinges. They don't come in quite as small sizes as the Soss, but they do have a broad range, and unlike Soss hinges, the Sugatsunes are three-way adjustable, which allows you to overcome slight positioning errors when cutting the mortices. For anyone thinking of using the BIG Soss hinges (room door size and above), I STRONGLY encourage you to check out the Sugatsune ones, as adjustment issues with large doors can be very painful with Soss hinges and their fixed geometry.
Yes please more instructional videos. I just got some of these hinges and searched TH-cam for tips and tricks, and this video helped me. So thanks! …and carry on.
This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

Unless you try out the innovations, you cannot learn something new. And you are always working to teach innovations. And you always produce innovative studies and ideas. Thank you for sharing. See you. greetings.
I was just about to start a small project doing a double opening bemch/dining table extension and had absolute blank mind how to install the hinges with limited tools. I have all the ones you used and your instructions were perfect. Thanks mate, i really appreciate your video. A big hello from Sydney Australia.
Loved this video! Super helpful, easy to understand and great video shots of the process. Also love the approach you chose to install the hinges using a hands on style. Refreshing over the typical craftsman flex of pulling out a dozen large expensive power tools to get a small job done. Keep the videos coming please!
That tape trick, that's totally how I go about things. Actually you kind of do things generally the way I like to. Very practical, logical solutions to problems. Love it. Nice design there, btw.
Michael: Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I have a single narrow frame we where were going to reluctantly mortise 2 butt hinges. All the other cabinet doors are hung with Blum concealed. Space restrictions on the 45 degree face frame ruled out the Blums. Only have to do 2 204 hinges, so this technique will get the job done! Nice walnut cabinet, BTW.
As a master woodworker ver 40 years, I just tried this to assess it's accuracy and was really hoping it would work. Wife wants me to install these on six 3/4-in thick cabinet doors and the existing Soss 204's are 1/2 inch thick - so that leaves 1/8-inch clearance on either side. I tested this out on one of the old cab doors she took off and in short - NOT! Doing this by hand at least on such a thickness doesn't leave any margin for error. Will definitely access the Soss 204 template and just rout them out.
Wasn't sure about these hinges....if the install was too tricky. Lucked into finding your vid and I'm good to go! Excellent video and instruction. Well done.
Very glad TH-cam recommended you. I've been watching a lot of your other videos. You're great to watch. I don't even plan on using SOSS hinges on anything and I watched the whole thing. :)
I enjoyed watching you craft. The hidden hinges are exactly what I require for my personal project and will, with the Grace of the Father in Heaven, help bring that Flushhh Plushhh look and feel to my project that we all seek. Yeshua's blessings and thank you again.
OMG thank you 🙏! I have and odd fitting where I cannot remove the stiles from the cabinet and am unable to use other hinges due to framing behind the door. This helps immensely and provides a solution to my problem!
Well done! I'd encourage anyone unfamiliar with Soss hinges to learn how to use them for their best work. That's an exciting project you have going. I'll be eager to see your future videos on it and look to see what you've done on horizontal tambours. Making a nice, tight 10 minute video like this must be more difficult than those live-streamed time-wasters some of the guys are doing but I refuse to watch an extra 45 minutes of nonsense to discover their hidden gems.
This video was great! I may not have tried these hinges in a future project without having seen the install first, and would definitely like to see you do more like this.
I really enjoyed your video. Clear instructions, easy to follow. And good tips on making the jig for future uses. For me, I found the electro-crap background music very distracting and in my opinion, it takes away from the video. Please take this as constructive rather than a negative comment.
I use the tape method all the time. however, using a piece of dowelling as dedicated stops works better than the tape when it needs to be more precise. Plus, you can make 1 for the inside and 1 for the outside and just keep them with the template.
Loved it Michael! Thank you and looking forward to taking a stab at installing some of these on an upcoming project.. not near as intimidating as first thought.
hello, I really liked your video, could you tell me how these hinges can be adjusted please, I mean, how do you adjust the setting with that type of hinge? Thanks a lot
Thanks for making this video. I am attempting to install some soss hinges in a humidor. I am a little uncertain where I need to put the jig. Does it go against the inside edge of the box/lid or along the outside edge?
Being a retired Machine Shop educator, with specialties in Woods and Metals, I wish I had you as a student. You did a great job.

Good to know! Thank you
I really like this type of video, especially when it is not about something, where there are already a ton of videos (like euro style hinges...)
Yes please more instructional videos. I just got some of these hinges and searched TH-cam for tips and tricks, and this video helped me. So thanks! …and carry on.
Michael, niche type instructional videos done by sharp/intelligent and/or professional guys like you would be a very nice addition to TH-cam.
This was a great video. I would like to see more how to videos on the small parts of a project. Then an overall full project review.

oh, now I see why this fella was recommended. watching this was a delight.
Mikey rarely disappoints.

Refreshing over the typical craftsman flex of pulling out a dozen large expensive power tools to get a small job done. Keep the videos coming please!
All your videos are great, but these are particularly helpful, as your subdued style makes it pleasant to learn.
That tape trick, that's totally how I go about things. Actually you kind of do things generally the way I like to. Very practical, logical solutions to problems. Love it. Nice design there, btw.

That was very helpful. I’ve avoided those hinges for a long time because I found them to be such a struggle. I appreciate it!
The first coffee of the day always taste better while watching your videos 😋

Really like this style of video. Big builds are cool, but it’s nice to learn new techniques
Wasn't sure about these hinges....if the install was too tricky. Lucked into finding your vid and I'm good to go! Excellent video and instruction. Well done.
Yes very good information I really appreciate everybody who takes the time to teach and instruct those of us who are not quite sure of themselves.
I used these hinges to make a door to cover my safe. Worked perfectly!!
I also like to see “how to” videos. Even though I barely have tools and do something by myself. I just enjoy to learn these kind of things
Same. And even better when it's about innovative and rare (but practical) items. I'd easily lose track of time just watching.
Very glad TH-cam recommended you. I've been watching a lot of your other videos. You're great to watch. I don't even plan on using SOSS hinges on anything and I watched the whole thing. :)

Bro, first time watcher, fantastic video!
Very interested in seeing the rest of this particular project, not to mention really loved the content. Thank you very much.
thank you, i could not find instructions in french ytb , nobody really talk about this type of hinges! kiiss from France, love your channel! ;)
I really do like this style of video. I really want to see what other tricks and tips you have up your sleeve as well.
Great video! This made installing these much simpler!
I appreciate how level you have made your camera in comparison to your work surface (at approx. 9:55). Great work! Love this style hinge
Very Nice! I have some but have not had the confidence to install so I think this video and the idea of a template I may try next opportunity!
What a beautiful cabinet! Thank you for demonstrating the Soss hinges. I have limited tools so this was really helpful!
Yes sir. Unique how to's are often very helpful.
I love your instructional videos! For the neophytes among us, could you please discuss how to accurately measure for wood cutting...?
Great video! Have a couple of small SOSS hinges to do. This seems to be better than the router jib, at least for the smaller ones.
Awesome instructional video, please do more! Yours great instructor !
Yes definitely a great video format on one very useful topic. Keep ‘em coming, thanks!
This video was great! I may not have tried these hinges in a future project without having seen the install first, and would definitely like to see you do more like this.
Glad to hear it! Thanks!!
Awesome video, great explanation and exactly what I was looking for.
love your style mate! precise and sleek
I have a Makita detail router and I will try these both ways. Very great style of video. Yes please to the detail then overview.
Nice detailed video. Nailed the reveal. It would be great to see more videos like this.
Love the cabinet! This was a really useful video as I am about to fit some of these hinges and I was really nervous
I really enjoyed your video. Clear instructions, easy to follow. And good tips on making the jig for future uses. For me, I found the electro-crap background music very distracting and in my opinion, it takes away from the video. Please take this as constructive rather than a negative comment.
Great video. Great explanations, great camera work. Editing was top notch.
Nice vid! Gives a good insight how to go about this job.
Yes we like this type of instructional video. You have incredible skills and we appreciate you sharing them with us
Keep the videos coming, like the doors you make nice design.
love the type of the video please continue to do these.
Really like these detailed how-to videos.
I use the tape method all the time. however, using a piece of dowelling as dedicated stops works better than the tape when it needs to be more precise. Plus, you can make 1 for the inside and 1 for the outside and just keep them with the template.
Please do more of this, this was great. Nice.
Great video bro, you never fail to keep me super enganged!
Beautiful work. Awesome video. Wish I could have had you as a mentor.
excellent video, keep it up, you have the right formula.
Love the instructional videos! Now I have no fear of using them and can design with them. Thanks so much.
love this style of video.. .learned a whole bunch... love the cabinet it looks spectacular
Very cool. I like this style. It would be fun to see how you made the awesome herringbone tambours too.
Yes instructional & building things. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍😊
Great video to do work perfectly with limited number of instruments
Nice work. Beautiful cabinet.
Nicely done. I would like to see more of this type of video. Thanks,
Very interesting video, please make more of them! I have never seen this hinge before, I love it!
Definitely would like to see more instructional type videos.
Nice. Very similar mechanism to barrel hinges it looks like. I’ll have to try them out
Very helpful and love the tutorial format. Wish I knew this technique a few months ago.
Great information... just in time for the humidor build that I am going to start
That cabinet is stunning. Would love to have a tenth of your skills..
Been waiting for this video !!!!
Awesome work Michael! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!!
Thanks, really well done video. very helpful.
Genau das habe ich gesucht!! Thanks a Lot 😃
Very helpful! They give such a slick look that is perfect for this piece!
Definitely wanna see more videos like this. Loved it.
Super helpful video, thanks!
Great video, very helpful. That cabinet is looking killer. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Fantastic video, really helpful and I am going to buy some of these hinges! Thanks for posting
Nice job! And yes definitely more of these!
Thats a beautiful table
Perfect video. Very Helpful.
Dude!!! What a big no no. You make jigs for the router and make those bloody holes quick and sharp.
This was really helpful thank you.
Yes I like the instructional video version.
Great video. If you remember, what are the depths the drill goes? In can't find it in my manual
thanks for the extra info on bits etc
Loved it Michael! Thank you and looking forward to taking a stab at installing some of these on an upcoming project.. not near as intimidating as first thought.
Awesome. More please. Thanks!
hello, I really liked your video, could you tell me how these hinges can be adjusted please, I mean, how do you adjust the setting with that type of hinge? Thanks a lot
Well explained with the jig, further the craftsmanship, yet I find the electronic music a huge turn off- especially the volume pulsing feature
Very good presentation! Can you help me to find a replacement hinges for the old vanity inset door 5/8 inch thick? Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial
Can you use sauce hinges for face framed overlay cabinets? (ie not the inlay doors that you have shown)
Looks awesome 👍
Nice video, nice hinges. Seems like a palm router might be useful here.
Wow. Awesome job!
Thanks for making this video. I am attempting to install some soss hinges in a humidor. I am a little uncertain where I need to put the jig. Does it go against the inside edge of the box/lid or along the outside edge?
Definitely like instructional videos
Nice one Michael !Thx . I am guessing somebody will be suggesting what about a router jig if you use these alot ?
yes more please
